Unfortunately, no. The latest errata (which is in the German edition, and which I have heard is in the newer English ones) keeps the karma points the same but raises Attribute improvement to the new cost. Metatypes also have to pay karma equal to their build point cost now, instead of getting it for free. An ork, for example, would now cost 20 Karma points to play.
Karmagen still usually comes out slightly ahead of build points, but it is not nearly as high-powered as it was before. Some might welcome the change, but I actually liked the lavish, extravagant allocation of points. You could certainly min-max, then fill in your dump stats and pick up some low-level skills to round out the character. When I did it, though, I found I actually min-maxed less than I did when I had fewer points - and I could explore quirky concepts that would not have been plausible under the tighter build points.
